Hey guys,

So a while ago I came accross this on the web:



Just let the terror sink in...

Am I the only one who will be deeply disappointed if the Ultramarines are cockneys? I don't mind British voice actors for, say, Inquisitors, Officers, Guardsmen (the voice in the vid would certainly suit a trooper), priests, maybe Librarians, Chaplains, etc. If you use a "regal" accent I might not even mind British Space Marines... But to be honest, I think DoW and DoW II got it PERFECT: Americanised, but still regal sounding... think Gabriel Angelos or Davian Thule:
Thule (DoW 1):


Thule (DoW 2):


Angelos (DoW 1):


Angelos (DoW 2):



Further showcase of DoW 1's vocal awesomeness:



I think I've made my point

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's so early in development that they probably havent cast the voice actors yet. I'm guessing the voice there is just a stand in. At least I hope so, unless they're trying to make the marines more relatable...

We already have a thread related to this project, lets keep comments and thoughts in that one please.
